Ishigayoni kaDavida ayihlabelela uThixo mayelana loKhushi umBhenjamini.
1 Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami,
ngiphephela kuwe;
ngisindisa ungikhulule kubo bonke abangizingelayo,
2 ngoba bazanginithiza njengesilwane
bangiklebule iziqanyana kungekho ongangilamulela.
3 Oh Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami, nxa ngikwenzile lokhu
izandla zami zilecala,
4 nxa ngenze okubi kulowo ohlalisene kuhle lami
loba ngisuke ngaphanga isitha sami kungelasizatho,
5 nxa kunjalo akuthi isitha sami singihlasele;
masigxobagxobele impilo yami emhlabathini
singibhuqabhuqele phansi ebhuqwini.
6 Vuka, Oh Thixo, ngolaka lwakho;
vuka uvimbele ukuthukuthela kwezitha zami.
Vuka, Nkulunkulu wami,
memezela ukwahlulela okuhle.
7 Akuthi abantu bebuthene bakuhanqe
busa phezu kwabo usekuphakameni.
8 UThixo kahlulele bonke abantu.
Ngahlulele, Oh Thixo ngokwanele ukulunga kwami,
ngokwanele ubuqotho bami, wena oPhezukonke.
9 Oh Nkulunkulu olungileyo,
ohlolisisa imicabango lezinhliziyo,
qeda udlakela lwababi
ukuze abalungileyo bavikeleke.
10 Isihlangu sami nguNkulunkulu oPhezukonke,
osindisa abaqotho ngenhliziyo.
11 UNkulunkulu ngumahluleli olungileyo,
uNkulunkulu obonisa ulaka lwakhe insuku zonke.
12 Nxa umuntu engadeli ububi bakhe
uzalola inkemba yakhe;
uzaligoba alithiye idandili lakhe.
13 Usezilungisile izikhali zakhe ezibulalayo;
uselungisa imitshoko yakhe evutha umlilo.
14 Lowo osuthiswe ngobubi
akhulelwe yikona uzala ukuphumputheka.
15 Lowo omba umgodi awuphande
uwela kulowomgodi awumbileyo.
16 Inkathazo ayidalileyo iyamphendukela;
lesihluku sakhe sehlela phezu kwekhanda lakhe.
17 Ngizambonga uThixo ngenxa yokulunga kwakhe;
ngizahlabelela indumiso egameni likaThixo oPhezukonke.
